A message I sent recently contained the following subject:
Subject: Tid fär nästa möte med CMC-forskargruppen
It was sent as follows:
Subject: Tid =?iso-8859-1?Q?f=E4r?= =?iso-8859-1?Q?_?=
=?iso-8859-1?Q?n=E4sta?= =?iso-8859-1?Q?_?=
=?iso-8859-1?Q?m=F6te?= med CMC-forskargruppen
And when I received the same message, the subject looked
like follows:
Subject: Tid fär
nästa
möte med CMC-forskargruppen
The cause of the problems seems to be that RFC2047 makes
the subject much longer,
well, RFC 2047 states that any white space between adjacent encoded-words
is to be ignored when decoding. so this is a bug in your mail reader.
I'll also note that it's encoding routines, while correct, seem to be
producing very sub-optimal output.
Subject: Tid =?iso-8859-1?Q?f=E4r_N=E4sta_m=F6te?= med CMC-forskargruppen
is a valid encoding of the same string.
